Another Lawsuit to be Settled?

Channel 7 is reporting that the family involved in the Midway plane accident who didn't lose a family member is suing Southwest Airlines AND the city.

The suit contends that Southwest failed in its duty to operate, maintain and control the 737 so as not to cause injury to people. Southwest also breached the duty of care owed to Galindo by negligently and carelessly failing to properly assess landing conditions, the suit claims. The suit also alleges that Southwest was negligent and careless in its failure to abort the landing after the plane had bounced back into the air on touchdown.

The city is guilty of negligence, the suit alleges, for not closing down the airport on a night when conditions were unsafe, and for failing to provide a safe runway area.

Correct us if we're wrong, but isn't the FAA in charge of setting standards for whether of not a runway can be utilized? We're curious on this one - we really don't know the answer. The Dept. of Aviation is in charge of clearing the runways, but we always thought air traffic controllers and the FAA made final determinations on usage. Is this another "deep pockets" attempt to get money? We can see suing Southwest, but the city?

BOYCOTT THAT ST.JUDES MARCH! No one comes there or cares anyway. Walk down the street after the parade. Lots of booze bottles everywhere. It looks like the march of the drunks. It would be funny to see the brass standing there with an empty street

^ABOVE^ Yet another entry by a non-police troll. St. Jude honors all our deceased bretheren. Be there for that reason alone. Troll, watch out for traffic when you're slinging them M&M's on the street corner and mind your own business.

Don't try to brainwash us with your brass bullshit. Based on your abject failure to come to the defense of our fallen heroes, John Gilhooly and Frank Rappaport, we don't need your sanctimonious hypocrisy and crocodile tears, you worthless, cowardly pieces of shit.

Shut the fuck up if you can't defend the honor of slain police officers! This will not go away, you spineless mothfuckers.

Eloquently stated, my brother. We hold the command staff of the the CPD in utter contempt. The cocksuckers are nothing more than treacherous Daley's puppets. They have lost all credibilty. Spit on them as the rats that they truly are.

And they have the nerve to condemn your honesty as the work of a troll. Political hack bosses must be shown that we will NOT be taken for granted. May these scumbags burn in Hell.

It is the deep pockets theory. Sue everyone!!!! Maybe someone will pay up. Maybe the city will settle, out of court, for a lesser amount, because to defend all the way to conclusion, it would cost the city much more than say $5,000 or $10,000 that they normally settle for.Illinois - The land where we will take any frivolous lawsuit.Remember, society is full of scumbags who profit for no reason at all. I will bet that the person who filed this lawsuit has "mental distress" and has not been able to hold a steady job since. My heart bleeds for you, liberal.

What you need is media, do any of you have contacts. Make it clear at ST Jude. you are not there for the Mayor, or exempts but in spite of them.

Death March for the fallen. There is a salute right at the end to honor the GRANDSTAND, use it. What are they going to do nail every officer in the march, and for what? Salute the families on the side lines your supporters. Have flags in those area's. Every step of the way.

Just stay one step ahead of DA BOSS 11 and his required bidders of seat. Where is the union ideas?

Actually it is the city (Airfield Operations part of the DOA) that decides the runway's condition based on braking tests. The air traffic controlers just pass the information. Usually there are specific guidelines for each airport (or airfield) that determines what is accepteable and what is not. Slush for instance cannot be on the runway at all. Of course the Airlines will take a hit but the city is liable as well.
